Today’s NBA Matchups

Chicago Bulls (22-59) at Philadelphia 76ers (50-31)

Line: Sixers -6.5, O/U: 220

76ers: 116 ppg, above average defense, faster than average pace

Bulls: 104 ppg, bottom ten defense, slower than average pace

Notes:

• The Sixers are locked into the 3 seed, so Joel Embiid, JJ Redick, Tobias Harris and Ben Simmons could all be resting tonight.
• Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and Otto Porter have missed the last few games. They’re not on the injury report as of now, but that could change.

Dallas Mavericks (33-48) at San Antonio Spurs (47-34)

Line: Spurs -14.5, O/U: 220

Spurs: 112 ppg, below average defense, very slow pace

Mavericks: 109 ppg, average defense, average pace

Notes:

• After a tumultuous offseason, San Antonio has matched their win total from last year. They can guarantee that they won’t play the Warriors in the first round if they win tonight.
• DeMar DeRozan will finish the season averaging 21 points and 6 assists on 48% shooting. It’s his most accurate season since his rookie year, and his most assists ever.
• LaMarcus Aldridge is averaging 21 points and 9 rebounds. He’ll finish the year with a career-best shooting percentage of 51.5%.
• Dirk dropped 30 points in his final home game last night, and in a postgame ceremony announced that he’s retiring. He’ll probably be pretty sore tonight, but he’ll probably add a bit to his 31,540 total points in one last showdown with Pop.
• Luka Doncic had missed four of the last five, but played last night and had 21 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists in the 120-109 win over Phoenix.

Detroit Pistons (40-41) at New York Knicks (17-64)

Line: Pistons -10, O/U: 208

Knicks: 106 ppg, second-worst defense in the NBA, average pace

Pistons: 107 ppg, above average defense, average pace

Notes:

• The Knicks have won two games in a row now that they have the worst record in the league locked up.
• Dennis Smith Jr. put up 25 in a 96-86 win over Chicago.
• The Pistons can clinch a playoff berth as long as they beat the Knicks. They were down by 22 against the Grizzlies last night, but clawed back in the fourth quarter and won.
• Blake Griffin had just 5 points in 18 minutes, limited by a knee issue. He is going to try to play tonight.
• Andre Drummond put up 20 and 17, and Ish Smith added a season-high 22 points off the bench in the comeback.

Golden State Warriors (57-24) at Memphis Grizzlies (32-49)

Line: Warriors -4.5, O/U: 215

Grizzlies: 101 ppg, top ten defense, bottom five pace

Warriors: 119 ppg, average defense, faster than average pace

Notes:

• The Grizzlies built a 22-point lead on Detroit but wound up losing 100-93.
• Jonas Valanciunas and Mike Conley are both done for the year in a season derailed by injuries.
• The Warriors didn’t dominate this season as hard as they probably could have, but they’ll still finish with the best record out West.
• Steph Curry averaged a team-high 27 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds in 69 games this season. He suffered a mild foot sprain in a 112-103 win over New Orleans and won’t play tonight, but should be good to start the playoffs.
• Kevin Durant will finish the year averaging 26 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6 assists. That’s a career high in assists.
• Klay Thompson put up 22 per game this year on 40% shooting from three.

Indiana Pacers (47-34) at Atlanta Hawks (29-52)

Line: Hawks -3.5, O/U: 223

Hawks: 112 ppg, bottom ten defense, fastest pace in the NBA

Pacers: 108 ppg, top five defense, slower than average pace

Notes:

• The Hawks never stopped competing this year, so you know they want to end on a high note.
• Trae Young will finish his rookie year with an average of 19 points and 8 assists per game. He really turned it on after the All-Star break, and he’ll be a solid player in this league.
• John Collins averaged just under 20 points and 10 rebounds in his second season.
• The Pacers are locked into the fifth seed and an interesting matchup with Boston.
• Wesley Matthews is out tonight with a sore toe.
• Darren Collison and Bojan Bogdanovic are the primary playmakers for this team, and Myles Turner, Thad Young, and Domantas Sabonis are an underrated group of big men.

Miami Heat (39-42) at Brooklyn Nets (41-40)

Line: Nets -5.5, O/U: 219

Nets: 112 ppg, below average defense, below average pace

Heat: 105 ppg, top ten defense, slower than average pace

Notes:

• The Nets can clinch the sixth seed with a win or a Magic loss.
• D’Angelo Russell averaged 21 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds this year to lead Brooklyn back to the playoffs. He’s right up there for most improved player.
• The Heat will miss the playoffs, so this is Dwyane Wade’s final game. Last night in his final game in Wade County, he put up 30 points in a 122-90 win over Philadelphia.

Minnesota Timberwolves (36-45) at Denver Nuggets (53-28)

Line: Nuggets -12, O/U: 218

Nuggets: 112 ppg, above average defense, bottom five pace.

Timberwolves: 112 ppg, below average defense, faster than average pace

Notes:

• If the Nuggets lose, they will fall to the three seed.
• Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap combined for just 7 points in a 108-118 loss to Utah last night.
• Jamal Murray had 22 in that one, averaging 18 per game on the season.
• Minnesota’s season is mercifully over.
• Karl-Anthony Towns didn’t play in a 120-100 loss to Toronto, and it’s unclear if he’ll suit up tonight.
• Andrew Wiggins had 16 in the loss, averaging 21 a game in his last ten.

Orlando Magic (41-40) at Charlotte Hornets (39-42)

Line: Hornets -4, O/U: 219

Hornets: 111 ppg, below average defense, average pace.

Magic: 106 ppg, average defense, slow pace

Notes:

• The Hornets can still make the playoffs if they win, but they would need the Pistons to lose to the Knicks.
• Kemba Walker put up 23 in just 27 minutes in a 124-97 win over Cleveland last night.
• If the Magic win, they will avoid the Bucks in the first round.
• Nikola Vucevic is listed as questionable with a stomach virus. He averaged 21 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists this year.
• Evan Fournier put up 24 points in a 116-108 win over the Celtics.
• Aaron Gordon and DJ Augustin are both solid role players and this team is super hot right now, so we’ll see how it works in the playoffs.

Sacramento Kings (39-42) at Portland Trail Blazers (52-29)

Line: Blazers -8, O/U: 229

Trail Blazers: 114 ppg, average defense, below average pace

Kings: 113 ppg, bottom-third defense, second-fastest pace

Notes:

• If the Blazers win and Denver does too, Portland will leapfrog Houston and be the 3 seed.
• Damian Lillard had 20 points and 8 assists in a 104-101 win over the Lakers last night. Mo Harkless scored a season-high 26 and hit a corner 3 at the buzzer for the win.
• CJ McCollum hasn’t shot well in his first two games back since returning from injury.
• Enes Kanter put up 22 and 16 in that game. He was acquired in the buyout market, and he has made himself very valuable filling in for Jusuf Nurkic.
• The Kings have lost three of their last four meaningless games, including a few days ago to the Pelicans.

Utah Jazz (50-31) at Los Angeles Clippers (47-34)

Line: Clippers -6.5, O/U: 225

Clippers: 114 ppg, below average defense, fast pace

Jazz: 109 ppg, top five defense, average pace

Notes:

• A Spurs loss and Clippers win would give LA the seventh seed, and so would a Thunder loss with Spurs and Clippers wins. Any other scenario, and it’s a date with Golden State.
• Danilo Gallinari and Lou Williams are both listed as probable tonight.
• The Jazz are locked into the fifth seed after beating Denver 118-108 behind a career-high 46 points from Donovan Mitchell.
• Ricky Rubio, Raul Neto, and Kyle Korver all missed that game, but they’re not on the injury report today.
• Rudy Gobert is averaging 19 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3 blocks in his last ten.

Marquee Matchup

Oklahoma City Thunder (48-33) at Milwaukee Bucks (60-21)

Line: Thunder -4.5, O/U: 228

Bucks: 117 ppg, best defense in the NBA, very fast pace

Thunder: 116 ppg, second-best defense in the NBA, top five pace

Notes:

• Milwaukee clinched the best record in the league a while ago, so Giannis Antetokounmpo is headlining a group of Bucks resting tonight.
• Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe are the best players not listed on the injury report.
• The Thunder have won four straight, and if they win tonight they will be the sixth seed. If they lose, they could play Golden State in the first round.
• Paul George hit a corner three for the win off of a Russell Westbrook assist in the final seconds of last night’s 112-111 comeback win over the Rockets.
